UNSPSC 11181501: Molybdenum oxide

Oxide from molybdenum metal. Used for the manufacturing of some alloys

UNSPSC 11181501 Molybdenum oxide is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently being solicited under it. Recent opportunities tagged to this code include opioid-settlement grant applications (Bernalillo County), hydrogen peroxide for water treatment (City of Salem, Oregon), silicone tubing for PFAS sampling (City of Fort Worth), and iron sponge media services (City of Salem, Oregon) — none of which involve molybdenum oxide procurement. The mismatch suggests this code either captures the wrong category in the posting system or the issuing bodies have misapplied the code to chemical and material purchases that fall outside the molybdenum oxide family.

The geographic activity documented in recent opportunities spans Oregon and Texas municipalities and a New Mexico county, but none of the solicitations support procurement of molybdenum oxide as a primary commodity. The City of Salem, Oregon appears twice in the recent record — once for hydrogen peroxide (Bid No. 267026, IFB posted April 15, 2026, due May 6, 2026) and once for iron sponge media services (sole source to MARCAB COMPANY INC., posted March 31, 2026, $30,000 annually). The City of Fort Worth issued an RFQt for silicone tubing (260175, posted April 10, 2026, due April 15, 2026). Without substantive recent opportunities in the molybdenum oxide space itself, this code shows little decision-relevant activity for business development purposes in state and local procurement right now.
